Re: difference between syslogd and slogger

Have you read the entries in the utilities guide? If not, it's a good
starting point, they can be found at the following links:

http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/6.3.2/neutrino/utilities/s/syslogd.html

Re: difference between syslogd and slogger

Yes.....i have gone through these links. All talk superficially about slogger.

I want something more about slogger. In fact i have no clear picture about the difference between slogger and syslogd.

Both i feel serve the same purpose.  What is actually not in syslogd because of which we use slogger.?

In what situation we should be choosing slogger and in what situation we should be choosing syslogd?

Re: difference between syslogd and slogger

slogger keeps an in-memory circular buffer, whereas syslogd logs to a disk file.  Also, syslogd is a standard
unix daemon, whereas slogger is a QNX specific server.

The source to both is posted -

http://community.qnx.com/svn/repos/coreos_pub/trunk/services/slogger
http://community.qnx.com/svn/repos/coreos_pub/trunk/services/syslogd

slogger is handy for limited systems that have no persistent storage.  All our device drivers will log to
slogger for this reason.
